as a winter resort, because of mparably
pure atmosphere, soft, warm even temper
AZURE, gentle altitude, and lovely lands and
cape views. There is in the interior and
foothlll regions of northern and Central
California no spot more frequented by
health-seekers than Auburn, and no place
where they receive greater or more lasting
benefits 1t is, we believe, destined to grow
into exceeding great Importance as a tourist
resting place, for ii is happily situated,
suffers from no extremes of heat or cold,
and disease and sickness are almost I'M
known to its citizens. The county has re-
ceived heavy immigration, lands are in
great demand, and the fruits products of
the county, notably the semi-tropical fruits,
are becoming known throughout the
United States by their shipment eastward
in midwinter As we write-in December
Newcastle in that county is shipping
oranges to Eastern markets.
YoLo AND soLANo,
Great plains, bottom land, fruit and vine
growing and agricultural counties con-
tiguous to Sacramento, are OF the same
general character with it, and offer to the
winter tourist much the same advantages.
Woodland, Vallejo and Benicia-the first
interior the TWO last upon tide-water-are
tourist present strong claims. Yolo has on
the west some foothill regions partaking of
the general characteristics of Lake and
Napa foothills.
AMADoR
Is a foothill and mountaiA county, and
notable especially for its fruit, berry and
vine products. Its climate is equable,
without cold or enervating heat. The air
is of wonderful purity in these hills, and
the temperature in the little valleys all that
the most exacting could demand the year
round with fine scenery and natural Curl
osities, fishing and hunting fields the
county is especially favored, and is exceed
ingly attractive to the traveller.
cALAvERAs, SAN JOAQUIN AND sTANIsLAUs.
Calaveras partakes of the same general
characteristics as Amador, with more,
however, of mining. San Joaquin is a
great valley county and, in climate and
general features, what has been said OF
Sacramento applies TO it. So, too, of Stan
islaus and MERGED, the latter. however, pre-
sentiug great extent of foothills, in which
fruits of all kinds may be grown IN
limitedly. Tuolumne is a foothill and
mountain county, with the same pro-
ductive possibilities that apply in the cases
of Amador and Ell Dorado, and with much
the same climatic features. Tuolumne
and Calayeras are rich in wonderful nat
ural features, but which are not much Wis
tied in the rainy season. as neither of the
counties are reached by rail. Stockton is
the chief city of the San Joaquin valley: 1t
is a large and progressive place, and offers
excellent accommodations to visitors.
ALAMEDA AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTIES,
Living upon the bays, have varying eli
mates. but none of extremes. Both counties
are well populated, dotted by numerous
towns. and present many winter resorts in
wiling to the tourist. OF San Jose, the
seat of government of Santa Clara county,
we have already spoken, and SO too of
Oakland, the county seat of Alameda.
Contra Costa has for its chief town Mar
tinez, on the Straits of Carquinez, spot
especially blessed with pure air, equable
temperature and sheltered from bay and
ocean breezes. The county is one of wealth,
rich production, thriving towns and many
attractions for the Eastern visitor. In
